Filtering data on multiple parameters

[MBone]

I have data that is structured as below:

Record ID	System Name For Variable	Value
1	LikesBananas	Yes
1	LikesOranges	No
1	HasPet	Yes
2	HasPet	Yes
2	LikesBananas	No
3	HasPet	No
3	LikesOranges	Yes
3	DrivesACar	No
3	PersonName	Johnny

Most are yes/no answers, which are the ones I care about.

And I have a table structured as below containing labels of answers.

System Name For Variable	User Friendly Name
LikesBananas	Does the person like bananas?
LikesOranges	Does the person like oranges?
HasPet	Does the person have a pet?
DrivesACar	Does the person drive a car?
PersonName	What is the name of the person?

What I want to be able to get out is filter out records on multiple parameters. For instance, I would like to find (the count of) all Record IDs where user likes bananas and drives a car. Or another example, what is the ratio of users that like oranges where users have a pet. Additionally, I would like to be able to have the user friendly name display instead of system name for the variable.

What is the best way to get this data out? I assume I would need some measure for each possible filter and work off of that, but is there a simpler way?

Hi,@MBone 

I am glad to help you.  

According to your description, you want to know how to filter data on multiple parameters? 

If I understand you correctly, then you can refer to my solution. 

First, after connecting to the data source, please create a relationship. 

Then you can open Power Query Editor to create several parameters as follows. 

Then you can use the parameters to filter in the corresponding fields. Here I have made two small examples to describe the specific use of Parameters: 

The first example is to find LikeBananas as Yes and HasPet as Yes: 

Result : 

The second example is to find LikeBananas as Yes and DrivesACar as No: 

Result : 

You can select specific values for filtering, or you can filter dynamically by modifying the value of Parameters. 

The final result presented in the visualization： 

I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

Best Regards,
Fen Ling,
